  • Begging For It

    This week the temps here in Colorado were back up into the 70's which to be honest, I really enjoy. Fact is that I do not think I am ready for the winter, especially if it is the cold harsh snowless winter we "enjoyed" last year. The reality is that I think cold with out snow is pretty lame. There is really no reason for it. I don't mind the full winter effect and have no problem adventuring when it sucks outside its just that if it is going to be horrible I want the full effect.
  • Tip Of The Day: Fluff Your Down

  • Mtn Biker Ambushed By A....Red Hartebeest?!

    I just caught this on Grind TV and was blown away. It seems that Evan van der Spuy was racing in South Africa when apparently he startled a Red Hartebeest which did exactly what apparently most African wild animals do, it attacked with a flying drop kick and yeah made his point quite well. Fortunately Evan was not seriously injured in the attack that could have no doubt been lethal. I still am not sure whay the Hildebeest jumped to attack him on the bike rather that lower its head and impale the guy.
